And it appears Mick could be modelling his outfits for a little while longer as the proposal to overhaul the Dail dress code has been shelved.

The Committee on Procedures and Privileges discussed the proposal yesterday but it has been parked following a legal question over the ability of the Ceann Comhairle or Oireachtas Committees to sanction members.

The Committee called for business attire including tailored jackets, trousers and collared shirts for men, and a suit, a jacket and trousers or skirt with a shirt for women.
